TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JACOB PrITzIXui-m, of the city of Buffalo, county ofErie, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Coal-Hod;and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,making a part of this specification, in which- Figure I is a bottom planview. I I

- v Figure II is a vertical section.

Figure III is an end elevation.

The nature of this invention consists, first, in making a malleable ironbottom, havingv an aperture and hingedwalve, with projecting handle foroperating the valve, and a short pipe connection for conducting the coalfrom the hod into the stove second, attaching a skeleton-frame to thelower part of the hod, upon which the bed is supported, and by means ofwhich the hod may be set 'upon the stove, and the valve left free towork and discharge the coal into the stove.

Having reference to thedrawings, the letter A represents the main bodyof the hod, which may be made in any common and well-known form andmanner. ireprcsents an aperture mad'ethrough the bottom, which may be ofany required diameter. This bottom is made of malleable iron. Crepresents a door or valve, which is hinged to the bottom, as shown atc. It has a projecting handle, by which it is moved to open or close it,as shown at 0 This valve may be round to correspond with the opening,and a little larger in-diameter, and it may be made alittle dishing tocatch the dust and drippings from the coahif there should chance to beany. 1) represents a short pipe projecting from theopening to guide thecoal into the stove or furnace. E is a skeleton frame which isattachcdto the bottom of the hod, and upon which the hod stands sufficientlyelevated to allow of the free working of the valve, and give room forthe projection ofthe discharge pipe. The handle of the valve projectsthrough the frame. This frame may be made of cast metal malleableized,or it may be made of small bars or rods of wrought iron, as may bepreferred. The bail of the hod is shown at F.

A eoal-hod constructed as herein described is less liable to scattercoal upon the floor, and requires less labor and fatigue in supplying astove or furnace with coal, and is more economical and cleanly in usethan I those heretofore constructed.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is- A coal-hoikhaving a malleable iron bottom, 13, valve C, short pipeconnection D, and skeleton frame E, substantially as herein described. 7
